Posted on Feb 08, 2011 @ 06:50AM - 4 comments

Carlina White, the 23-year-old Atlanta woman who found out she was kidnapped as a baby in 1987 from a New York hospital, has had a falling out from the family she reunited with last month over money, her  teary-eyed mother Joy White told The Today Show on Tuesday.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, then-teenage mother Joy took Carlina, just 19 days old and running a high fever, to Harlem Hospital August 4, 1987 where she was allegedly kidnapped by a woman named Ann Pettway, who was dressed as a nurse.

As she grew older, Carlina was suspicious of her own identity and used search engines such as Google and Yahoo for information to learn more about her roots. At the same time, Officials from the Center for Missing And Exploited Children began working with New York police, while Carlina, after seeing photos Joy had posted on a missing children's website, told Joy she thought she was her long-lost daughter, which DNA tests proved correct.

In a story broadcast on WTVD-TV, the ABC affiliate in Durham, North Carolina, Carlina said: "She had something set up ..  For a person to put on a nurse's suit and to wander through a hospital, that hospital ... you know what you were doing.”

Carlina said she utilized search engines such as Google and Yahoo for information when she became suspicious of her own identity.

She said the reunion "is all that she wanted, ever since [she] found out that lady wasn't her biological mother ... I just hope that the officials can get her in their hands, so they can get her side of the story now.”

Pettway, who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, did not speak to the TV station, who knocked on her front door. Her neighbors said they were surprised over the new developments.
